Trump Approval Hits Record Low; Iran Support Sinks

President Donald Trump's job approval is stuck at a record low of 33% and public support for the war with Iran has fallen to 31%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed Monday.

It is the second Reuters/Ipsos survey in a row to put Trump at 33% — the lowest reading in polls from his first or second term, tying the floor he hit in December 2017.

Separately, an Economist/YouGov projection reported by Mediaite put Trump's net approval at -26 nationwide and in positive territory in only three states.

Trump responded Monday afternoon by calling the numbers "Fake Polls" and part of what he called "Demoralization Operations" aimed at Republican voters.

The numbers

The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,215 US adults nationwide over four days and carries a margin of error of 3 percentage points in either direction.

Support for US military action against Iran came in at 31%, down from 34% earlier this month and 37% in a March Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The drop was driven by Republicans: 69% of self-identified Republican respondents back the war, down from 77% in March.

Some 83% of Americans said they expect the war to go on "for an extended period of time," up from 80% earlier this month.

Raw Story reported that Trump's approval has fallen below 40% nationwide and that his net job approval is negative in every state except Idaho, West Virginia and Wyoming, while more than 80% of self-identified Republicans still approve of his performance. The Republican Party's own favorability rating has also dropped below 40%.
